100. player. 28. . Wide Receiver. Buffalo. Anthony Johnson

The Raiders need a lot of help at the wide receiver position, and even though they could roll the dice with one of their early picks, they could get another solid player in the fourth round. Anthony Johnson from Buffalo has all the intangibles you look for in a productive player at the wideout spot, and should be available this late in the draft.

Johnson has big hands, and that enables him to make any catch, whether it is in traffic, or going up for the deep ball. A great route-runner, Johnson is also very physical, and while he does not have elite speed, he is very quick, and his good feet enable him to get open at will, at least they did during his time in the MAC.

With Jordy Nelson returning, and Marcell Ateman expected to have an expanded role, there are plenty of areas of opportunity at wide receiver for the Raiders next season. Adding both Johnson and Metcalf via the draft would make this position group a strength, and you can imagine what Derek Carr could do with this kind of talent in 2019.
